Vancouver, BC - Skyharbour Resources Ltd.’s (TSX-V: SYH) (OTCQB: SYHBF) (Frankfurt: SC1P) (“Skyharbour” or the “Company”) partner company Medaro Mining Corp. (“Medaro”) has announced plans for an upcoming exploration program at the Yurchison Project (the “Property”). The exploration program is slated to commence this winter with the goal of locating new high-priority drill targets and refining existing historical targets. The Yurchison Property is located in the Wollaston Domain of Northern Saskatchewan, Canada, and contains twelve mineral claims, comprising approximately 55,934 hectares.

Upcoming Yurchison Work Program Details:

The Yurchison property has had extensive regional exploration work completed including 23 underground surveys (diamond drilling, sampling and relogging of historical holes, and Wacker drill overburden till sampling) as well as various prospecting and geophysical programs. The majority of the work on this property was completed prior to 2000, with only a lesser amount completed in the last 20 years (25 drill holes, 4 ground geophysical surveys, 4 airborne surveys). 

Currently underway is a reassessment of historical till geochemistry and relogging of available historical drill core to better understand the stratigraphy and its relationship to the sulphide mineralization and the mineralizing systems. Planning for winter and summer programs are also underway and this work will likely include modern geophysical surveys, geological mapping, geochemical sampling and prospecting programs. A systematic diamond drilling program is being planned as well on priority targets on the property. Additional news will be forthcoming on these exploration programs.

Yurchison Uranium Project:

Historical prospecting near old trenches returned significant uranium (ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% U₃O₈) and molybdenum (ranging from 2,500 ppm to 6,400 ppm Mo) mineralization in both outcrop and float samples. Two historical holes drilled beneath the trenches returned highly anomalous molybdenum values, up to 3,750 ppm and anomalous uranium values up to 240 ppm. The Property boasts strong discovery potential for both basement hosted uranium mineralization as well as copper, zinc, and molybdenum mineralization. Regionally, Rio Tinto entered into a $30 million, seven-year, option agreement with Forum Energy Metals Corp. to acquire an 80% stake in their Janice Lake property which is located on-strike to the southwest of the Property.

The Option Agreement:

Pursuant to the Agreement, Medaro may acquire an initial 70% interest in the Property by (i) issuing common shares of Medaro (“Shares”) having an aggregate value of CAD $3,000,000; (ii) making aggregate cash payments of CAD $800,000; and (iii) incurring an aggregate of CAD $5,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property over a three year period. Once Medaro has earned an initial 70% interest in the Property, Medaro may acquire the remaining 30% interest in the Property, within 30 business days of earning the initial 70% interest, by (i) issuing Shares having a value of CAD $7,500,000, and (ii) making a cash payment of CAD $7,500,000.

Skyharbour will retain a NSR of two percent (2%) on 11 of the 12 claims with Medaro holding a buyback option whereby Medaro can purchase one percent (1%) of the NSR for CAD $1 million. A separate NSR of two percent (2%) on the other claim is payable to a third party (payable pro-rata based on ownership interest in the Property).
